can a person have their period and ovulate while they are pregnant?

No to both. You can ovulate twice in one cycle, but these two ovulations would be within 24 hours of each other. Once you are pregnant, your body no longer ovulates. Pregnancy hormones "turn off" the hormones that cause ovulation.

Without ovulation, there are no periods. Menstruation is vaginal bleeding as a result of ovulation that is not followed by pregnancy. So if you aren't ovulating, you don't have a period, either. The difficulty comes in when vaginal bleeding from another source *appears* to be a period (very rare--most bleeding during pregnancy is lighter, shorter, and/or different in color from a period).

Yes, you CAN have a period while you are pregnant....but it is not from the same thing that normally causes a period, and it is slightly different. Your period is caused because the lining of your uterus thickens when you ovulate so that if you get pregnant, it can support the baby. If you do not get pregnant, your body sheds this lining and everything starts all over....the lining is what you see when you bleed every month. When you get pregnant, however, you do not shed that lining....the blood you see that looks like a period is from implantation.....when the egg implants itself to the uterus...this cause light bleeding and will look like a light period with a little spotting, and is usually bright red....can cause cramps like a period as well.

No, you cannot ovulate when pregnant....all that shuts down until after the baby is born because the cervix closes when pregnant, not allowing sperm to enter, so there is no need to release an egg, aka ovulation.

properly, you do not nevertheless ovulate once you're pregnant -- the guy who left that as area of an answer is inaccurate. a similar hormones that help being pregnant inhibit ovulation and menstruation. (you also do not menstruate once you're pregnant. you may bleed -- and with the aid of that folk frequently say "you'll get your era once you're pregnant...I/my pal/my mom/etc. did!" -- even though it really isn't any longer a era.) the volume to which, i think, someone would say it really is real that you *ought to* get pregnant if "already pregnant" is that that's conceivable, actually, to be pregnant with multiples which have diverse fathers. loopy, yet real. yet which couldn't because a lady ovulated at the same time as she replaced into already pregnant; somewhat, it would result from hyper-ovulation (or launch of better than one egg in that cycle) and sperm from diverse companions/donors/although fertilizing those eggs. yet at the same time as someone would use that as an celebration of having "re-pregnant," as you position it, which couldn't that in any respect. If, say, you're 3 months pregnant, you may't get "re-pregnant" and carry 2 little ones that are due 3 months aside!

a person may have their period while pregnant, however it is really rare. The person will get iron supplements and other supplements to build their blood count.

Not too sure about the ovulation though.

Later.

I think some women do have their periods while they are pregnant. I do not think they ovulate.

you can have ur period when you are pregnant, but it won't be as heavy, but you do not ovulate during pregnancy other wise the pill could not do it's job.

Pre-mentalpausal{sp} can have the same effect. Would have helped to mention how old you were
